AS FAR of Morocco to play South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns in the Final of the CAF Women's Champions League Egypt 2026 on Sunday afternoon
Published:
Africa's two most successful women's clubs, Morocco's AS FAR and South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns, will battle for a record third continental title when they meet in the CAF Women's Champions League Egypt 2026 final on Sunday, 15 November.
The highly anticipated encounter will kick off at 17h00 local time (15h00 GMT) at the Suez Canal Stadium in Ismailia, bringing together the only two clubs to have won the competition twice.
Mamelodi Sundowns were the inaugural champions in 2021 and repeated that feat two years later, while AS Far claimed the title in 2022 and 2025.
The final is a repeat of the decider four years ago when AS FAR defeated Sundowns 4-0 to claim their maiden continental crown.
The South Africans have an opportunity to avenge that defeat, while the Moroccan champions seek to extend their dominance and become the first club to win back-to-back championships.
Both women's teams secured their places in Sunday's final with impressive semi-final victories.
Defending champions AS FAR edged Cameroon's Lekié Football Filles 1-0, while Mamelodi Sundowns recorded a convincing 4-1 victory over Uganda's Kawempe Muslim Ladies to move a step closer to a third continental crown.
Beyond the prestige of becoming African champions, Sunday's winners will receive USD 600,000 in prize money and secure qualification for the second round of the FIFA Women's Champions Cup 2027, where they will face DPR Korea's Naegohyang WFC in December 2026.
The third-place play-off will take place on Saturday, 14 November, when Lekié Football Filles face Kawempe Muslim Ladies at 14h00 local time (12h00 GMT) at the Suez Canal Stadium.
Both the third-place play-off and Sunday's final will be broadcast live on CAF TV, the official YouTube channel of the Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF).
